The shark family have dinner in a ship, Don Lino was going to tell his sons and nephew important news.

"Ok so as you three know, I'm turning 60"

"Those years must been good for ya uncle" Lou says.

"Yeah but I'm going to be around much"

"Ah, you don't know what you're talking about pops" Frankie says.

"Yeah you still have your health, you still got life in you" Lou says.

"Hehe, that's why you are my favorite nephew Lou, you're always full of wisdom, always making me feel young"

"And you're my favorite uncle"

"But listen, I won't be long and I want to see that my boys are taken care of"

"Right on pops" Frankie says.

Then the waiter came in with a Italian cuisine.

Lobster Risotto, mussel salad, tortellini, ravioli, manicotti, calzones, lasagna, seafood pizza, spaghetti, Marconi pasta, fettuccine Alfredo, garlic bread, pesto pasta, prawns, Cesar salad, penne pasta, calamari, bruschetta, antipasto Italiano, lamp chops, tomato soup, and a great big boiled lobster.

Don Lino takes a plate of lasagna but then he noticed Lou only ate Cesar salad.

"Lou?"

"Huh?" Lou looks at him.

"We got a nice spread here and that's all you're gonna eat?" Don pints out to the salad.

"Oh...I'm just not in the mood to eat anything right now"

Frankie pulls a plate of baked clams, "what, are you on diet or something" he nudges Lou and laughed causing don to laugh.

"Na I'm just...I decided to become a vegetarian from now"

All three sharks looked at him shocked, don dropped his fork on the ground.

"What?"

Then don gets up, he doesn't look happy but he gets Lou up, wrapping his arm around him.

"Now Lou, you know I love you right"

"Yeah, I love you too, you were the only one there for me"

"Yeah that's right, I raised you as one of my own sons, loved you like a son too"

"And I loved you like a dad"

"And I only want what's best for you? So tell me, when are you going to get married"

"What?" Lou pulls away as he was stunned by the question.

"Lou I just want you to be happy. Find a special lady, have kids of your own"

"Aw gee uncle don, I'm just not ready for that kind of thing yet"

"Then how else are you going to give me grand kids"

"What?"

"I want to retire early and be a grandfather"

"I don't know uncle don, I was thinking about adopting a child which reminds me of something"

Lou was about to tell him about princess when...

Don gives him a deadpanned look then grabs his shoulders.

"Louie, adopted child doesn't make a family"

Lou then sighs and looks down in shame, looks like he's not going to tell him about princess, which was going to be a really awkward conversation between him and princess.

She might even give him the silent treatment.

"Ok so you remember your cousin Vicky right?" Don asked.

"Yeah" Lou nodded.

"Well she has a friend who's a whale shark"

"Oh no thanks uncle I'm not interested"

"Not into whale sharks, I get ya, I get ya, we'll there is this nice leopard shark widow that just lost her husband"

"No thanks uncle"

"Ok how about a killer whale, I know this nice orca girl who would love to go out with you"

Lou was getting impatient why can't his uncle see he wasn't ready for a relationship.

"Uncle don, please, I don't want to be rushed into this, I'll find someone, soon, just not now"

Then Lou was ending up with facing his uncle.

"Lou, let's not forget who took you in when your parents died"

Lou tilts his head in shame, "you did"

"Yes, I took you in when your dad died, I raised you as my own, I taught many things, I think you should start showing your appreciation by doing this thing for me"

"Yes uncle"

Lenny could see his dad was stressing Lou out but he could also see that something was up with his cousin.

"Pops can't you see that Lou isn't interested, you need to know that this is his decision, don't push him into a relationship"

Then don pats his attention to Lenny, he and Lou sit back down.

"That brings me back to you, Kenny you need to start being aggressive when you start to take over the business with your brother"

"Oh gee pops, I don't understand"

"What do you mean, you don't understand? We've been over it times. I don't want to have to say it again. You're really giving me agita. I don't know how else to say this. You see something, you kill it, you eat it. Period. Thanks. That's what sharks do. That's a fine tradition. What's the matter with you? Your brother Frankie, here, he's a killer"

"Thanks, Pop"

"He's beautiful. He does what he's supposed to do. Wipe your face and your cousin Lou, he's in a gang called the bad guys"

"Hehe, right" he smiles nervously.

"He's done some great things, stolen lots of valuables too, I'm proud of him, But you... I'm hearin' things. You gotta understand, when you look weak it makes me look weak. I can't have that. Somethings I wished that Louie here was my son"

Lou gasped then he turns to his cousin keenly who looks sad.

"I know, Pop, I'm sorry"

"Lenny. Lenny. Look at me. Look at me. This handin' over the business, it's for you, for both of yous, and you're acting like you don't even want it. I need to know that you can handle that"

"But he doesn't want it uncle don" Loy says as he placed a fin on Lenny's shoulder.

"Lou I know what's best for Lenny, like I know what's best for you" he sighs then sees cocktails.

"All right. Right here, in front of me now, eat this"

"Yeah. Gee, thanks, Pop. Here's the thing. I'm on a diet. I read an article about these shrimps. They're not good for ya. You know how many calories are in one of those shrimps? A lot"

"Oh hey i read about that too" Lou says.

"It's true. It's true and the other thing is, my sister had a baby and I took it over because she passed away and then the baby lost it's legs and it's arms and now it's nothing but a stump but I still take care of it with my wife and it's growing and it's fairly happy, but it's difficult 'cause I've been working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table, but all the love I see in that little guy's face makes it worth it in the end. True story"

Lenny sobs while Lou feels bad for the poor shims.

"Aw...poor little guy"

But don scoffs, "I'm not askin' you anymore.
I'm tellin' you. Eat it!"

"No. Have mercy" the shrimp begged.

" Pop, please..."

"Eat!"

" No eat"

Lou then gets up, "uncle don please"

"Son, eat the shrimp!

"No, please"

"Lenny! Eat, eat, eat!"

Lou got uncomfortable with his uncle and cousin arguing, but on the other hand Frankie was ready to eat the shrimp himself.

" Don't! Pop!"

"Put the shrimp down!"

Lou then noticed everyone saw the scene they were making.

"Uh oh" he felt awkward with everyone looking at them, he takes a very long sip of red wine.

"Go now. No one's looking Get out of here"

"You're free, now go"

"Thank you You're a good person. Come on, fellas"

"Uh oh" Lou says then he gets up trying to break the tension.

"Ok I see that we are getting a lot of bad tension here and we might've says something things that weren't supposed to happen but I'm sure we can try to work it out after some cappuccino with some Tiramisù, Torta, gelato, Cannoli, Biscotti, Panna cotta, Crostata....Napoleon?"

He smiles nervously Hopefully, it'll all go smoothly over a cup of coffee.

"Pop, I can handle the reef. It's not a problem"

"No. We're gonna do this as a family. Frankie, I want you to take Lenny out, show him the ropes"

"Come on, Pop"

"You're gonna learn how to be a shark. Whether you like it or not. And as for you Lou"

Lou sits down looking scared and worried.

"you're going on a date tomorrow weather you like it or not"
